Just wondering if someone has the definitive answer for what the next size down in propellors is from this one:

https://brickset.com/parts/design-15790

It's literally just around one stud too big for what I want (and hits the side of the plane in question), but everything else I find is way too small (bought around 5 different types so far and everything's tiny). I don't mind what kind of Lego theme it's from, just want the next size down from this or just definitive information on whether there is nothing else close?

Many thanks!

Well, a quick look at the bricklink propeller category shows that there really aren't any options that are slightly smaller. But in the technic category I found this.

There may be an obscure alternative available in yet another category but I doubt it. I guess you need to get creative than with plates and tiles perhaps?

 

No worries, thank you for trying and for your information. Explains why I can't find any then, but was hoping it was just me being daft or there was perhaps a discontinued Duplo propellor or something that would suffice.

Funnily enough it's actually to replace plates and tiles, namely on the 31064 Creator clipper plane. I know I'm 'missing the point', however I actively dislike how on the Creator range everything except for the minifigs is brick built, even the animals, much prefer the application of specialised pieces on the main System range - there's just some things that never look as good when made in the 80s way. So after having filled the cockpit with printed components and smoothed out and lengthened the pontoons, I wanted to have more realistic props on it like 60116 Ambulance Plane, but sadly there's nothing smaller than those props without going too small and those ones themselves hit the side of the plane. :cry_sad:

Closest you can get is either this or this part. But they seem to be a little smaller than the ones used 31064, which might explain why LEGO decided to use brick-built propellers.
